Oritse Femi, born Oritsefemi Majemite Ekele, is a Nigerian Afrobeat and hip-hop artist known for blending gritty social commentary with danceable rhythms. Hailing from Lagos, he first gained attention in the mid-2000s as part of the group Di Squad before launching a successful solo career. His breakout hit "Double Wahala" (2013) – a modern twist on Fela Kuti's classic protest sound – cemented his reputation for addressing issues like poverty and corruption through Yoruba-laced lyrics and pidgin English flow.
Still keeping it fresh in the 2020s, Oritse Femi's recent tracks like the soulful "Testimony," nostalgic "Tribute to Mohbad," and party-ready "Ogogoro, Pt. 3" show his range in mixing traditional Nigerian sounds with contemporary beats. Whether he's dropping life reflections in "Kilonso" or celebratory vibes in "IDAN," his music remains deeply connected to everyday Nigerian experiences while pushing Afrobeat's evolution forward.
